Scottie Pippen tops annual list of highest-paid basketball players

In 2022 it looked like the basketball player’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, he was back on top. People With Money reports on Wednesday (November 20) that Pippen is the highest-paid basketball player in the world, pulling in an astonishing $58 million between October 2023 and October 2024, a nearly $30 million lead over his closest competition.

People With Money’s factors

In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.

The American basketball player has an estimated net worth of $185 million. He owes his fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Pippen Burger” chain) in Washington, a Football Team (the “Hamburg Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderpippen - US), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Scottie) and a fashion line called “Scottie Pippen Seduction”.

The ranking is significant for many Scottie fans, who have been waiting for his triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
